Chapter 403 Cooperation between the Emperor and His Ministers!!!
About Yan Shu, Liu Yong and Xin Qiji.
Kong Yingda and others all showed interest when they heard this.
Although they were all civil officials of the Tang Dynasty, they were also very familiar with the literary works of other dynasties.
But I have never heard of anyone named Yan Shu, Liu Yong or Xin Qiji.
Most people in later generations have only heard of Tang poetry and Song lyrics.
But you have to know that the Tang Dynasty was famous for poetry.
There are also Ke Ci, but they are not as famous as Song Ci.
Speaking of why Tang Dynasty poetry is famous.
Moreover, the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty played a great role in promoting the prosperity of poetry.
There were many types of imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty, but poetry and prose were extremely important.
For example, writing a poem or an essay.
And poetry is particularly important.
we can even say.
In the Tang Dynasty, whether a person could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi was a matter of great importance.
It depends on whether you can write good poetry.
But Li Bai was different, mainly because his family background was not suitable for taking the imperial examination.
In addition, almost every emperor of the Tang Dynasty loved poetry.
Poetry competitions are also often held.
During every festive feast, poetry competitions are held to add to the fun.
This is why Yan Zhitui previously proposed composing poetry to liven up the atmosphere.
Can be imagined.
Living in such an environment.
As a scholar, one must pass the imperial examination to advance into a higher class.
It will inevitably take a lot of energy to learn to write poetry.
This way.
It will inevitably play a great role in promoting the development of poetry.
But now, the words Zhuang Zhou recited were extremely exquisite.
"Master Zhuang, can you read these three poems to us?"
Kong Yingda couldn't help but say.
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and nodded.
He naturally knew that for literati and poets, it would be a great honor to come across a good poem.
How lucky that was.
So, let me start to explain:
"The first line, 'Last night the west wind withered the green trees, I climbed the high building alone and looked at the road to the end of the world', comes from Yan Shu's "Dielianhua".
Kanju sorrows smoke, blue weeping dew, Luo Mu lightly cold, swallows fly away.
Mingyue is not familiar with bitterness and bitterness, and the light is slanted until Xiao passes through Zhuhu.
Last night, the westerly wind withered the green trees, and went up to the tall buildings alone, looking all over the world.
If you want to send colorful notes and rulers, where can you tell if the mountains are long and the rivers are vast?
The original lyrics express the sadness of parting, but I borrowed this sentence to express the loneliness and pursuit of learning. "
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
Zhuang Zhou continued:
"The second line, 'My clothes are getting looser and looser, but I will never regret it, I am exhausted for her', comes from Liu Yong's "Dielianhua".
Leaning on the dangerous building, the wind is thin, and the hope is very sad, and the sky is dark.
In the afterglow of the grass-colored smoke, there is no one who can say nothing.
It is intended to drunk the madness, to sing the wine, and the music is not tasteless.
The belt gradually widened and he didn't regret it.
This sentence depicts the deep affection of pursuing love persistently and being willing to give everything for it.
I borrow this sentence to express my determination and perseverance in the path of learning. "
After hearing this, Kong Yingda and others all showed admiration on their faces.
I am even more impressed by Zhuang Zhou's knowledge and talent.
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and continued:
"This last line, 'I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, he was there, in the dimming lights,' comes from Xin Qiji's "Qingyu'an Lantern Festival".
In the east wind night, flowers and trees are bloomed, and the stars are like rain.
BMW engraved cars on the road. The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.
The golden strands of moth snow willow, the smile is full of fragrance.
The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was there, where the lights were dim.
The lyrics describe the scene of the Lantern Festival night with bright lights and hard-to-find beautiful women.
I borrow it to express the arduous pursuit of knowledge.
The joy and enlightenment of suddenly discovering the truth right before your eyes. "
After listening to Zhuang Zhou's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
I was even more impressed by Zhuang Zhou's talent.
It’s like seeing another world in the path of learning.
They did not expect that Zhuang Zhou could use words so skillfully to classify the way of learning, or the way of life, into three realms.
This will help you form your own unique insights and understandings.
Isn’t this exactly what the great sages and scholars of the past wanted to achieve when they annotated the scriptures and taught?
All the officials present who had entered the civil service through literary careers were suddenly enlightened.
They undoubtedly deeply admired Zhuang Zhou's talent and knowledge.
Li Er couldn't help but exclaimed:
"You are so good, Zhuang Zhou, you are really quick-witted and well-read!
I didn’t misjudge you!”
Zhuang Zhou shook his head modestly and said:
“Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just standing on the shoulders of others and borrowing their wisdom.
The true path of learning still needs great sages like Confucius to continue to explore and discover. "
Upon hearing this, Kong Yingda shook his head and sighed:
"I am so ashamed. I pride myself on being well-read in the teachings of ancient sages and great scholars, but I never expected that I would be taught a lesson by Master Zhuang today."
Sima Caizhang also had a look of emotion:
"Master Zhuang is truly a great talent!"
Great sage, or talented person is a very high evaluation.
But Sima Caizhang was actually a great talent.
This evaluation is high enough.
Zhuang Zhou just smiled slightly when he heard this.
In fact, his views are based on what Mr. Wang Guowei put forward in "Words on Human Life".
Mr. Wang Guowei is known as a master of Chinese studies.
This can also be regarded as a tribute to Mr. Wang Guowei!
At this time.
Li Chengqian suddenly stood up, bowed to Zhuang Zhou and said:
"Master Zhuang, the three poems you just mentioned were written by three people. I would like to ask, who are these three people and where do they live?"
This can't be said to be a person from later generations!
After thinking about it, Zhuang Zhou came up with the wording:
"Your Highness, these three are my teachers from my hometown. My poems all come from them."
Li Er heard this and continued:
"Zhuang Zhou, did you make up these three people?!"
"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you!"
Li Er smiled and said nothing more.
Li Chengqian heard this and did not ask any more questions. He turned around and said:
“I am not talented, but I have benefited a lot from listening to Master Zhuang’s words today.
I would like to give a brief introduction of my own about these three realms.
I wonder if Master Zhuang could correct me?"
Zhuang Zhou was slightly stunned when he heard this.
obviously.
Li Chengqian also wanted to demonstrate it on the spot.
Of course Zhuang Zhou supports this!
immediately.
He smiled gently and said:
"Your Highness, your words are too kind. I am just throwing out some ideas.
Your Highness, please feel free to speak up and I am all ears."
Li Chengqian nodded upon hearing this and began to speak slowly:
“I think that the first state you mentioned can be classified as setting goals.
This is called standing.
Only by setting goals can we have a direction, a clearer vision and deeper thinking.
The second realm, Hu believes, is the unremitting pursuit of goals.
This is called guarding, guarding the original intention.
Only by perseverance can you gain something.
As for the third realm, it is the harvest after going through all kinds of hardships.
This is called gain.
I think these are the three realms.
It is not only applicable to the way of learning, but also to all aspects of life.
Whether pursuing fame, love, or something else, one needs to have the mentality of these three realms.
Master Zhuang, is there anything wrong with my opinion? "
After listening to Li Chengqian's insights, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but show an expression of admiration.
I have to admit that Li Chengqian is indeed very smart.
Nodding, Zhuang Zhou said with a smile:
"Your Highness is indeed extremely intelligent and has unique insights!"
There really wasn't any flattery in Zhuang Zhou's words.
As a latecomer, he studied these three levels seriously when he was studying.
I can even recite the entire text.
But people like Li Chengqian were hearing about it for the first time.
And in this short period of time, you can put it to good use.
We have to admit that the wisdom of the ancients is no worse than that of modern people.
However, the productivity of this era was destined to be unable to trigger an industrial revolution.
There would be no so-called information explosion era in later generations.
People’s cognition cannot be broken through.
But in terms of IQ, ancient people were by no means worse than modern people.
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Kong Yingda and others nodded in praise.
They didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could have such profound insights.
This made them full of expectations for the future of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Seeing this, Li Er couldn't help but smile smugly.
He was immediately excited and asked someone to bring paper and pen:
"Zhuang Zhou, when I heard what you said, I knew you must be a great poet.
Why don't you compose the poem and I'll write it!
How about we cooperate as king and minister?"
Zhuang Zhou: "???"
